Creamy White Chocolate Mousse Recipe

Instructions

  1. Chop the white chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Heat ½ cup (120 ml) of the heavy cream until hot (but not boiling).
  3. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
    • If needed, microwave 10 seconds at a time to fully melt.
  4. Stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool to room temperature.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
    • Add powdered sugar if using.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture in 2–3 additions, until smooth and fluffy.
  7. Spoon into cups and chill for at least 2 hours.

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh raspberries or strawberries
  • Crushed Oreos or Biscoff
  • White chocolate curls
  • Toasted coconut
  • Caramel drizzle

Tips for Perfect Texture

  • Make sure the chocolate mixture is fully cooled before adding the whipped cream.
  • Don’t overmix—keep it light and airy.
  • Chill longer for a firmer mousse.
